I.C. Candidate’s Statement

When looking at the categories of teaching, research, and service that define a faculty member’s role, I am driven to help

make every person or organization be as successful as the entity possibly can be whether that is teaching and mentoring

students, mentoring or collaborating with colleagues, working with companies or for the department, college, or university.

Teaching and Mentoring

“Teaching is not a profession; it's a passion. Without passion for your subject and a desire for your students to learn and be the

best in the world, then we have failed as a teacher and failure is not an option.” ~ John F. Podojil

This quote which is taped to my monitor completely exemplifies my personality and teaching philosophy. Every-thing I do

and try is an attempt to facilitate better learning and excitement about the subject I am teaching. My goal is to bring high

energy and excitement to the teaching arena whether it is in the classroom, mentoring and advising students, working on

student projects, recruiting the next crop of students as well as discussing or delivering workshops/presentations on teaching

to peers and graduate students. I strive to create learning environments where students can learn, want to seek out new

knowledge, have a desire to learn more as well as have the ability to apply this beyond the classroom. I am firm believer that

if you are excited and passionate about the subject and demonstrate this in your teaching, students embrace the energy and

enjoy the class no matter how challenging the class.

As seen in Section II, I have taught a full teaching load of three classes and two labs. In many years, I taught an

extra class in order to teach a separate graduate class. I have always received student evaluations that are higher than the

departmental average while teaching one of the most demanding courses in the TE program. In recognizing that our students

were not using their programming class, I developed TE110 computer based modeling with Excel and VBA which is one of

the most demanding classes in our TE program. The students complain about the amount of work as well as how challenging

the class is but they all realize how important it is. In a recent survey (46% response rate) of the last five year alumni, 84.1%

of the 90 respondents mentioned TE 110 material as making a difference in their careers. I received five or six testimonials

every year about how useful the course is and how they have been labeled superstars because of their ability. I try to bring in

relevance in all of my classes I teach based on my own consulting and applied research with companies. It is student

successes that drive me to improve as a teacher in order to reach more students. So challenge the students to think critically

about situations to make them global thinkers. For my teaching innovation and instruction, I have been awarded the 2006 NC

State Alumni Outstanding Teacher Award, the 2009 Gertrude Cox Award for Innovative Excellence in Teaching and

Learning with Technology, the 2012 NC State Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate professor as well as received the most

coveted award giving to one faculty member of the university the 2016 Board of Governors Award for Excellence in

Teaching.

In my opinion, teaching does not happen always in the classroom but you also need to mentor and advise

undergraduate and graduate students as part of your teaching activities. Teaching means giving students opportunities to

explore and grow. These interactions maybe about life, careers, etc. but that is as important as teaching material. Your goal

should be for students to reach their fullest potential and enable them to do so by pushing them. You need to listen and

understand when students are having difficulties. A young man who had just transferred from ECE over to TE was in two of

my classes. He was handling the demanding classes ok but I could tell that he was just going through the motions and I was

worried about him. After a long discussion, I discovered he was barely surviving engineering and was not really happy. I

asked him to consider textile technology which is more of a business applied science based degree which I felt would fit his

passions better. This is why I am a faculty member in a smaller department who cares so much and tries so hard to make

everyone reach their fullest potential and find their passion as seen from this email from this student.

“Just wanted to update you on what I have been doing since graduation. Since May I have been hired part time to Mastec Network

Solutions on 9/10/12 as a CloseOut Specialist. After learning the role rather quickly, they offered me full time after 1 week! The industry I

am in is Telecom and I work in the 4G LTE department so my workload far exceeded others' with my same title. That being said I

managed to complete all tasks ahead of schedule (which made the company's quarterly goal and gave mgmt a huge bonus haha) which was

HUUUUGEE for me only being there for 2 months. since that happened they have given me gifts for my work done, i have been invited to

a corporate Hurricanes game, and now they are flying my supervisor and myself out to Denver on Monday for 2-3 weeks to train other

employees at another office out there! Things are definitely going well. I am on track to be promoted soon, and after that hopefully have a

Project Manager position within the next year, making 70k+ *fingers crossed* Well Dr. J I wanted to thank you again for everything you

did for me back when I took your TE110 class. You sir are one of the only professors I really learned from and enjoyed coming to your

class...and you are a major factor in why I graduated with the degree I have now in Textile Technology (thanks to your referral) .”

Research

Goal 5 of NC State’s Strategic plan is to “Enhance local and global engagement through focused strategic partnerships”

which aligns with my research thrust of applied research working with companies or organizations on solving a real world

problems (e.g., Hanesbrand’s inventory models and scheduling, Duke Hospital’s PACU nurse scheduling, NC DOT DMV

evaluator schedules, etc.). The inventory model that was developed in 2002 has led to millions of annual savings as well as

the company hiring my PhD student Ben Martin. I believe these type of projects allow me to be an outstanding teacher by



bringing these experiences, data, etc. into the classroom as well as the opportunity to mentor graduate students to be very

successful. As seen in Section III.B, I have had a lot of success in obtaining money from industry or industry driven

organizations. In 2011, I cultivated and received a $1,000,000 gift from Hanesbrands for 8/2012 – 4/2016. As Director of the

Hanesbrands/NC State partnership (see Section III.B and IV.A for more Information), I manage the utilization of the money

for student projects, class projects, student events, research projects, etc. The impact the partnership has had on NC State as

well as Hanes has been significant which is why Hanes has just renewed for another $1,000,000 for the next five years.

Finally as part of my academic scholarship, my book (co-authored Stephen Roberts) “Simulation Modeling with

SIMIO: A workbook” is being used by over 30 universities like Ga Tech, Oklahoma State, RIT, Northwestern, NC State, etc.

as well as by industry personnel. We just completed the 4th edition which represented a complete rewrite and restructuring of

the book. We have purposely kept the book inexpensive (i.e., e-book is 29.99 and black and white copy $43.99) so people

will buy the book to help them learn simulation modeling. It is designed in an inquiry guided fashion where the book walks

the student through modeling as well as asking them probing questions. We sold 703 copies in 2015 and have averaged 650

copies sold each year for all editions. Almost all of my research is performed in an interdisciplinary collaborative manner

with a variety of different individuals because my expertise of optimization, process improvement, statistical data analysis,

and computer simulation and information systems can be used to solve many different types of problems. I have 67 refereed

publications in journal articles, conference proceedings and book chapters to go along with my book. In my field, it often

takes nine to twelve months to receive the first reviews. As a result, we often publish our work in conferences where ASEE

and IEEE conferences have on average a 45% acceptance rate where one of my IEEE conference papers has over 760

citations as stated by Google Scholar and technical report as 1452 references.

Service(10%) and Administration (20%)

Over 30% of my time is spent in service to the department, college and the university again trying to help students and

colleagues. Most of this time is spent in my administrative role as Associate Department head for undergraduate programs for

the TECS department which facilitates my desire to have an impact on students as well as my colleagues.

Associate Department Head-Besides advising my own official 28 advisees, I spend a lot of time advising/mentoring

other undergraduate students in classes, careers, etc. As part of my role, I assist Liz Moran in evaluating the applications to

Textile Engineering during the CODA (Change of Degree of Audi) process to decide who is accepted into TE program. As

part of the process I often to meet dozen students to discuss their aspirations and goals to help them make a decision about

TE or TT. As my role, I give presentations on our three programs at the COT Career fair the past two years to point out to

these companies that students in PCC, TE, and TT have tremendous skill sets that their organization could use. Going with

theme of helping our students be successful, I wrote 27 student recommendation letters for graduate school, scholarships,

study abroad, etc. in 2015. To aid the Department Head, I developed the TECS annual faculty reporting system in 2009. This

tremendous endeavor each year of querying the various database systems to gather the information like courses, students,

research proposals and projects has saved our faculty a lot of their time. Once the faculty have finished updating all the

information in their individual MS Excel workbooks, my system combines all the information to generate all the documents

needed by the department head to report our yearly activity of research outcomes (e.g., projects, proposals, publications,

presentations, outreach, etc.) Also, the system creates spreadsheets for each of the faculty to be used in their annual reviews

automatically. Beginning in 2015, the entire college started to use my system to be consistent across the departments.

Recruitment – A large portion of my time is spent recruiting students both from high school as well as transfers within the

university through open houses, creation of program fact sheets, meeting with parents/students, interviewing for scholarships

and working to retain these students once they are in our programs. As Co-Director of the Polymer Engineering and

Chemistry Camp (with Russell E. Gorga), 2006 – present, For the past two years we have had close to 80 applicants with us

accepting little over 40 participants. Without a doubt this has had an impact our PCC/TE/TE programs. I spend time ordering

and buying food for the camp as well as soliciting sponsorship to keep the fee very low so students of all backgrounds have

an opportunity to come. I believe I have made an impact on our students and programs which are growing.

Chair of the University Evaluation on Teaching (August 2012-May 2015) –I was asked to chair the committee for

three years to continue the momentum we created during my first year which had to be approved by the Provost each

additional year. Under my leadership, the committee addressed some very touchy issues of improving response rates of

student evaluations as well as addressing peer review of teaching. Even though this was a large commitment (see Section VI

for more information), I have had a large impact on the NC State community with regard to evaluation of teaching, As a

result of the work, I was asked to give presentations on our recommendations to the University’s Provost and Dean’s Council

in July 2013, September 2014, and May 2015 and to several Associated Deans Meetings and Faculty Senate subcommittees.

Also, one needs to serve their profession as well where I have been heavily involved in the global simulation

community with various roles of the International Winter Simulation Conference as proceedings editor, program chair, track

coordinator, and the Board of the WSC. In 2014, I was awarded the prestigious INFORMS Distinguished Service Award to

recognize individuals who have provided a long-standing exceptional service to the simulation community.

II. TEACHING AND MENTORING OF UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS

II.A. Teaching Effectiveness

II.A.1. List of Courses and Student Evaluation Summary

During my fourteen years, I have taught and developed a variety of classes. TE 105 and TE/ISE 110 (Computer Based

Modeling for Engineers) , TE 205 (Analog and Digital Circuits), TE 404 (Lean Six Sigma) are required classes for all Textile

Engineering (TE) students while TE 440 (Information System Design) is a required course only for the TE students in the

Information Systems Concentration and is an engineering elective for other TE students. These undergraduate courses are at

the freshman (TE 105 and TE/ISE 110), sophomore (TE 205) as well as senior (TE 404, TE 440) levels courses. The graduate

classes (TE 540 (Information System Design), TE 589I (Evolutionary Optimization), ISE/TE589/OR591 (Simulation

modeling with SIMIO) are electives. I have created/taught the first offerings of TE440 (Fall 2000), TE 589I (Fall 2002), TE

540, TE/ISE 589 Simulation Modeling with SIMIO (Spring 2010), and TE 110 (Spring 2006). I teach classes in all levels

from freshman to graduate students. A majority of my classes are taught at the freshman and sophomore levels (TE 110 and

TE 205). I have consistently been at or above the mean of the TECs department in my class evaluations of the instructors.

TE 440 and TE 540 are piggy back courses. It should be noted that TE 424 is my lab section which is a double lab (i.e.,

rather than breaking it up into two lab sections of 20 I teach one of size 40). Even with my heavy administration load I have

taught at or above the department load of three classes and two labs. In order to teach graduate level courses besides piggy

back ones, I have to teach an overload in order to teach my simulation class. My graduate class 2016 spring semester for

example had 23 students in it. The following table just summarizes the question “Overall, the instructor was an effective

teacher”.

Thank a Teacher Program

Every semester since the start of the program, I have receive at least one or more thank you notes from current and previous

students. The following are the seven Thank You teacher notes I received Fall 2015 for the spring 2016 semester. Again,

these unsolicited comments are the reasons why I keep doing what I am doing (i.e., impacting students’ lives). I have

removed the names when they were not anonymous to protect the identity but these are direct quotes. The first comment was

from an Army ROTC where they took the spring off to do their basic training. Note, the student who commented that felt like

they disappointed me aced the next test and final. So challenge your students to do even more.

I cannot thank you enough for all the help you did this past spring when I was not able to register for my classes.

You went above and beyond of what I'ev expected from any advisor/professor from NC State. My mom was also

very impressed with all the help you gave her. I appreciate what you have done for me, and I am very glad you are

my advisor. Thanks Dr. J! -XXXX XXXX

I'd like to say thank you to Dr. Joines personally. He goes out of his way on multiple occasions outside of the

classroom to provide guidance and suggestions to students whether it may be future classes, what job opportunities

may be available for someones skill set, or just personal conversations in general. It has been a joy this semester in

Six Sigma learning about practical applications of manufacturing in real world examples, but has also been great to

be around Dr. J outside of the class as well. Countless times I've seen Dr. Joines spend time with students working

on senior design projects, he has helped students in other classes learn difficult topics, and he has even told us of a

project he is aiding a former student of Textiles who is now working full time. It is awesome that he takes the time

to help previous students brainstorm and analyze projects for their Engineering jobs later down the road. It is

extremely relieving to know that once I have completed my student career at Textiles, I will have still have those

connections and the ability to consult with professors like Dr. J to help with some topic of interest. THANKS DR.

J!!-XXXX XXXX

I just wanted to say thank you for all that you constantly do for me and the rest of the students in the TE

department. You really help motivate and push me to be the best student I can be. When you wrote 'you are

capable of much more than this' on my Six Sigma test I felt like I had let you down and that was an awful feeling.

Also thank you for showing all of your students that you care about how they are doing and are willing to make

any accommodations you can to help make things easier for us. I consider myself very lucky to have a professor

like you around during my college years. -XXXX XXXXX

Dear Dr. J.: Just wanted to say thank you again for another awesome year! I have had the best time at NC State

and having you as a professor has made it that much better. Thanks for always caring for students not just in class

but also outside of the classroom. You make class fun because of the interactions you have with students, and

relating examples to real life situations (especially golf). Also thank you for all of your advice and helping out

with situations with school, applying for internships, and life in general. I hope you have an awesome summer

and I look forward to more classes with you next year!! -XXXX XXXX

Thank you for being an all-around outstanding faculty member, both in and outside of the class room. You have

always made students feel welcomed and encouraged at NC State. In the classroom, you have expertly taught

students many useful skills, while outside of the classroom you have provided them with an expert source of advice

and even with assistance in finding employment. I have enjoyed getting to take your courses and appreciate the

personal interest you have taken in both me and my fellow students. Thank you for helping to make all of my

undergraduate years at NC State excellent! --XXXX XXXX

Thank you so much for all you have done for me during my time at NC State. You have been a great adviser and

teacher and I really appreciate all of your support. It is so evident that you really want your students to succeed

and you go above and beyond to help them do so. I hope this serves as a small token of appreciation for all that

you have done for me and all that you do for all of the students at the College of Textiles. I'm going to miss you,

Dr. J!

--XXXX XXXX

Thank you so much for everything you do! You were a fantastic teacher forTE 110 and I look forward to TE 440 in

the fall. Also, thank you for working so hard to make sure that I get the classes I need and for providing excellent

advice for my schedule.

Overall rating: __Excellent___________________________________

Strong points of the Teacher (Continue on back if necessary)

Very enthusiastic and energetic. Kept class moving and students involved.

Opportunities for Improving Teaching (Continue on back if necessary)

Several examples were beyond the knowledge of the students and took too long to explain to them what the

problem was, especially on the homeworks. Using examples from high school physics or chemistry would let the

students concentrate on the course material rather than on peripheral material.

Numbered Footnotes (Continue on back if necessary)

Rater(s)_________________________________________________________________

TE 110 is a course dedicated to teaching the students to use Microsoft Excel to solve engineering problems at an

expert level. Although I consider myself an Excel expert, I learned many new things and found the course

personally challenging and useful. The course is designed to be a "learn by doing course" with Dr. Joines and a

teaching assistant guiding the students through the examples. Dr. Joines excels at this.

I observed Dr. Joines teach throughout the Spring, 2010 semester. He was always very well prepared, enthusiastic

and engaging. The course format is unusual since the lecture and laboratory are combined. The students are

required to have a computer and use it throughout the class in order to learn the techniques taught in the course.

Homeworks are extensive and strongly support the class material. Dr. Joines consistently encourages the students

to start early. He uses email and chats to assist the students late into the evening. This fosters great respect and

appreciation for Dr. Joines.

I did note one short-coming in the course, however. Often the homeworks and sometimes the classroom examples

were pulled from material that far exceeded the students' knowledge. This lead the students to spend too much

time trying to figure out what the problem was asking and took away from their learning the skills necessary to

solve the problem. I would suggest simplifying the examples by using material from high school or freshman

physics and chemistry, that the students have already taken or are currently taking. This would help the students

grasp most of the same material and see its immediate usefulness. Increasing the number of problems but

reducing their difficulty would aid the students in learning the skills taught in the course.

Overall, Dr. Joines is an excellent teacher who is strongly dedicated to engaging students in the learning

process. He knows his material extremely well and can solve almost any problem the students present to him, including many arcane problems associated with Microsoft Windows and Excel. The students in his class are totally involved from the minute they walk into class until the leave.

Overall rating: The two reviewers rated him “extremely” in each category and believe Dr. Joines is an outstanding

teacher.

Strong points of the Teacher (Continue on back if necessary)

Dr. Joines has great enthusiasm for the material, excellent rapport with the students and gets the students actively

involved. He uses an excellent mix of PowerPoint slides, silicon chalk, blackboard spontaneity and in-class

demonstration. It’s obvious that he spends a great deal of time preparing his lectures, class materials and in-class

interactions, which are all of the highest quality. Dr. Joines chooses to keep the students focused on the material

and moving them forward at a quick pace. Lastly, his love of teaching is readily apparent to anyone who sits in

his classroom, and his receiving the prestigious NC State Alumni Outstanding Teacher Award in 2006 [check] is

a thoroughly deserved endorsement of Dr. Joines ability as an educator.

Opportunities for Improving Teaching (Continue on back if necessary)

As Dr. Joines is already aware, he has an important and relevant opportunity in regard to eye contact with students

during discussions and lecturing. In the minds of the reviewers (and at least some students), improving eye

contact with students would significantly improve his interaction and rapport with the students, both in and out of

the classroom. The reviewers recommend that Dr. Joines seeks ways to improve in this area.

II.B. Instructional Development

1. Based on TE/ISE 110 inclass labs, developed 15 labs (with Steve Roberts) in the development of a new class (TE/ISE

589) Simulation Modeling with SIMIO in the Spring 2010. We turned those labs into a 25 lab Textbook that was

published by the company. In the first four months we have sold over 1000 copies of the book. We just did a complete

rewrite of the book for the 4th edition of the book. The approach has been heralded by the company and the book is being

used by over 30 universities worldwide. (e.g., NC State University, Christos Alexopolis at Ga Tech, Steve Pare

University of Montreal, Barry Nelson at Northwestern, Idaho State, Oklahoma State, University of Pittsburg, RIT). The

book has been translated to Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Mongolian and is currently going through French and German

translations.

2. Enhanced the Textile Information Systems class (TE440) by using Tablet PC and Silicon Chalk software to perform

inquiry guided learning in Fall of 2008. First class at N.C. State to utilize Silicon Chalk See Student Owned Computing

Forums for more information on the software.

3. Developed the Syllabus for TE 110 Introduction to Engineering Computing. Introduction to Engineering Computing is

designed to replace CSC 116 (Introduction to Computing with Java). It is designed to be an introductory, yet

comprehensive study of computer problem solving and programming. For many engineering disciplines, Microsoft Excel

and Access are two major tools that are often used to solve problems. Many of our students will work for companies

where these tools are widely available. Therefore, developing an understanding of programming within these

environments is a valuable tool. Being able to design and develop visual frontends to these two programs will allow our

students to develop decision supports systems. This course is needed because we are redesigning upper level classes to

utilize Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programming to solve systems problems. Computer Science will be

reluctant to teach a similar course owing to the fact that we are focusing on one particular vendor (Microsoft) where the

programming environment is primarily used under the MS Windows program.

Steve Roberts and I developed 25 InClass labs that utilize a case study approach to inquiry guided learning. These ideas

behind the labs have been replicated in several different courses. Some of the labs are being used in BAE 200 and

Columbia.

4. Enhanced Textile Information System (TE440) to use VB.Net and ASP.Net (Fall 2003). First class at N.C. State to offer

programming using the .Net Framework. 4. Developed the first graduate N.C. State class on Evolutionary Optimization

(Spring 2002).

5. Developed and first taught the material in Textile Information Systems (TE440) with P. Grady (Fall 2000).

6. Developed class web page for TE 205 - The webpage contains class notes, syllabus, links to the online homework and

other pertinent links (Spring 2001).

7. Started the first step of taking TE205 online by moving all the homework to be submitted and graded online using

WebAssign with W. Jasper (Spring 2001).

8. Dissemination of Effective Learning Practices

As a firm believer in student-centered as well as inquiry guided learning; I have evolved the information systems design

class (TE 440) from a lecture-based course with once a week computer laboratory to the integration of computers into

every lecture. I will lecture for a short time on a computer topic and then the students are given a task to complete in

class where I can assist them (i.e., Solution-Active Learning). During one lecture period, there might be four to eight of

these lectures and task combined teaching methods. I have termed this kind of learning the "Immediacy Response"

because students get immediate feedback on whether or not they can complete the task before leaving the classroom.

Other times, when questions are asked or students makes suggestions and even if I know the answer or I know their

solution is wrong, I will turn the question into an exercise by saying let’s do it and find out. Students learn from their

mistakes as well as their peers in the classroom before trying to attempt the homework. Now my lectures have evolved

into an inquiry guided learning classroom by having little lectures, well planned in-class assignments that make a point,

and then just responding to "teaching moments" or "Immediacy Responses." Students have remarked how they could not

imagine taking this class without the use of computers. From 2000-2005, the College of Engineering (COE) ran a student

owned computing pilot. In 2006, they switched to a expectation that all incoming engineering students have laptops. I

have been involved with the SOC initiative from its beginning: as a teacher of TE 440 computer information systems for

the past three years, on the SOC committee for helping to make decisions about the laptop carts as well as being

appointed the chair of the SOC committee in 2002 based on use of technology in the classroom. As Chair of Student

Owned Computing (SOC), I have organized the following forums over the past two years to disseminate the use of

computer technology to enhance the undergraduate teaching and learning for our student owned computing initiative.

These forums were intended to give examples of good practices as well as tools that can be used to enhance student

learning. In several instances, I have acted as a speaker at these forums to discuss my experiences in the classroom. The

following is the list of forums I created.

Forum I: Using Computers to Enhance Classroom Learning (Oct 29, 2002) by Carol Miller and Anna Kennedy

Carol Miller will talk about how she has used computers in the classroom for a traditional engineering

computer course while Anna Kennedy will discuss her experiences in using computers and wireless internet in

teaching a non-traditional Spanish for Engineers course. They will show the impact computers in the

classroom had on their teaching, student learning, and the classroom.

Forum II: Active Learning with Technology (November 20, 2002) by Rebecca Brent and Rich

Rebecca Brent and Rich Felder will discuss their perspectives on teaching with technology. Using laptops in

a classroom requires a teaching pedagogy different from traditional teacher-centered and lectured-based

instruction. They will discuss how active learning with technology can enhance student learning.

Forum III: Technology Tools that Can Be Used in the Classroom (April 23, 2003) by Donna Petherbridge and Jeff

Joines

The spring April 23 forum is a hands-on demonstration of laptop computing tools using our new COE laptop

cart. Participants will learn how a variety of tools (Ask the Audience, Wolfware, WebCT, WebAssign) can be

used in a student-centered classroom with active learning. Throughout the forum, participants will be working

with the tools on laptops from our new laptop cart, made available by ITECS for classroom use. Donna will

discuss Wolfware and WebCT while Jeff will discuss the use of WebAssign and a new student polling

software (Ask the Audience).

Forum IV: The use ofWolfware to enhance learning in the classroom (October 16, 2003) by Elliot

Fisher

Based on feedback from the previous forum, Elliot Fisher from LTS will spend an hour explaining how

Wolfware can be used in and out of the classroom along with the new gradebook.

Forum V: WebCT tools for in-class learning (November 6, 2003) by Elliot Fisher

WebCT is the world's leading provider of integrated e-learning systems for higher education. WebCT's e-

learning systems deliver the most advanced educational technology available to support a full range of

teaching and learning styles, while making the most intelligent and efficient use of an institution's intellectual

and technical resources. Using WebCT allows institutions to provide more personalized learning options for

students, to expand access to academic programs, and to continually improve course and degree program

quality.

Forum VI: Expert Panel Discussion (February 18, 2004) by Lisa Bullard, Anna Kennedy, and Steve Roberts

The next forum will be a panel discussion on using laptops/computers in the classroom to enhance learning.

We will have three panelists who will discuss their experiences and then field questions from the audience.

The three panelists all have different views and experiences.

Panelist 1: Lisa G. Bullard (Chemical Engineering)

Lisa along with Richard Felder taught two sections of CHE 205 lab. In one section, they used student-centered

learning with laptops in the lab while in the other lab they only used student-centered learning techniques.

Lisa will discuss the startup concerns she had in using laptops and then discuss their findings when comparing

student-centered learning with and without technology.

Panelist 2: Anna Kennedy

Anna Kennedy has been teaching in the laptop program for the past two years. She teaches a non-traditional

class (Spanish for engineers). Anna will discuss her success over the past two years and how laptops have

changed her teaching and the learning of the students. She will discuss how she has changed over the past two

years.

Panelist 3: Steve Roberts (Industrial Engineering)

He will discuss his experiences with using computers in the classroom and the evolution that it has taken him.

As he started teaching using computers with just labs to now using it every day in the class room. He will

discuss how it has evolved into giving tests in the classroom using computers and his experiences.

Forum VII: Silicon Chalk Demo (May6, 2004) by Sarah Garriock

Silicon Chalk will allow the user to interact with the faculty by allowing many different things like the ability

to capture sound, add notes to power points as the instructor talks, etc. Silicon Chalk software is used in a face

to face classroom setting where each student has access to a computer - wired/wireless laptop or in a PC lab.

Silicon Chalk facilitates and enhances the activities that are typical in synchronous learning environments:

presentation, discussion, note-taking, feedback, quizzing, collaboration, and more. Faculty can control which

software programs students can and cannot use. At the end of a classroom session each student leaves with a

unique recording including the teacher's presentation and voice combined with the student's personalized

notes. The recordings are portable, fully searchable and can be further annotated during playback or review.

The recordings are great for students who happen to miss a class.

Forum VIII: Lunch Forums during the a two day faculty laptop workshop (August 10 and 11, 2004)

As part of the COE computer committee and the SOC committee, assisted in putting together, a plan has

been forward to expect all engineering undergraduate students to have laptops by 2006. As part of that plan,

it was recommended that faculty have access to laptops as well as software for teaching. So as part of the

plan, a Faculty Pilot was initiated to help faculty obtain and use computers and technology in the

classroom. As part of the pilot, a two day workshop was put together. I organized the teaching pedagogy

portion of the workshops during the 90 minute lunch.

Lunch Forums I: Lisa Butler and Eric Wiebe

They discussed active learning and technology in the classroom and how faculty members can utilize

online simulations, book software, etc. to perform active learning even if the students do not have

computers in the classroom.

Lunch Forums II: Lisa Bullard, Jan Genzer and Jeff Joines

Lisa and Jan talked about the evolution of the CHE curriculum to embrace the use of computers in the

classroom by utilizing the laptop carts to get ready for the students in 2006. I talked about my evolution of

teaching TE 440 computer information systems class from a lecture style with a computer lab portion to an

inquiry guided learning style using computers every day. I demonstrated how student learning is impacted

and improved through active learning and computers.

Forum IX: Using Tablet PCs and Silicon Chalk™ to enhance a technology driven classroom

through inquiry guided learning (Dec 2, 2004) by Jeff Joines

During this semester, I have been experimenting with a Tablet PC as an effective teaching tol as well as

using the Silicon Chalk Software to enhance collaborative learning. This forum will discuss my experiences

as well as demonstrate Silicon Chalk Software while using my Tablet PC to demonstrate a few key points

using our laptop cart over at the College of Textiles. I think Tablet PC can be used as a smart blackboard

and transform the laptop/computer into an inquiry guided learning tool. I will talk about my hybrid

approach using the Tablet PC and keyboard. See comments below line for my feelings of the advantages of

Tablet PCs as a teaching tool. Silicon Chalk software is used in a face to face classroom setting where each

student has access to a computer-wired/ wireless laptop or in a PC lab. Silicon Chalk facilitates and

enhances the activities that are typical in synchronous learning environments: presentation, discussion,

note-taking, feedback, quizzing, collaboration, and more. Faculty can control which software programs

students can and cannot use. At the end of a classroom session each student leaves with a unique recording

including the teacher's presentation and voice combined with the student's personalized notes. The

recordings are portable, fully searchable and can be further annotated during playback or review.

II.C.3. Mentoring Activities

My major role as the Associate Dept Head and TE program director is to make sure the undergraduate program

moves along smoothly from recruitment, undergraduate curriculum, ABET accreditation as well as assisting faculty.

When I give seminars on teaching to new faculty, one of the things I say is that everything I do may not work for you

or may need to be modified to fit your personality.

As a part of the LITRE grant, I held a one day faculty development workshop (May 18, 2008) on Utilizing Modeling

in Excel for Engineering which was attended by 23 faculty from Industrial and Systems Engineering, Textile

Engineering, and Biological and Agricultural Engineering. The workshop demonstrated how to effectively integrate

computing into the classroom. The goal was to integrate computing into other courses in each of the curricula beyond

the freshman courses. I worked with Mike Burchell from BAE over the Fall 2008 semester to assist him in

redesigning their freshman computing course (BAE 200). I helped him adapt many of my in-class labs to utilize in

his course. The following is qualitative survey assessment summary from the workshop participants.

Rate the workshop (1 - strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 =

Using named ranges 3.42

I mentor faculty on issues related to all aspects of teaching (e.g., Dr. Jur, Dr. Pasquinelli, Dr. Krause, Dr. Zhang, Dr.

Krause, and Dr. Jasper). I co-taught with Dr. Pasquinelli when she first arrived. We talked after each time to discuss

things that went well and the things to improve. We have the opportunity to talk several times a week on how her

teaching is going which allows me to give advice on dealing with students and handling issues. I helped Dr. Jasper

introduce active learning techniques into his Controls class (TE435) to give the students experience with solving

problems.

Based on my experience using Tablet PCs, I have influenced and mentored several faculty on the use of Tablet PCs

in the classroom (e.g., Lisa Bullard – CHBE, Steve Roberts –ISE, Melissa Pasquinelli – TE, and Wendy Krause –

TE).

Student Mentoring

Undergraduate Researchers

Jiin Son (May 2016 – present)- Working on building a simulation model of the central telemetry of several hospitals as

part of the NIH grant.

Shikha Singh – Worked with her since she was in high school. She was awarded an under-graduate research award. She

is worked on building a simulation model of an emergency room. She attended the international Winter Simulation

conference in December of 2011.

NSF REU – I have had three students (Alison Kerkelo, Brian Foster, and Courtney Musciano) work with me on

developing educational videos for my NSF educational grant (See Research Section for more information), http://moodle.wolfware.ncsu.edu/course/view.php?id=4481

Undergraduate Directed Internships

For several summers including some semesters, I have been working directly with companies on several extremely

important problems with companies. The mechanism was facilitated through what we termed “directed internships” where

an assembled group of students is working in the various companies with a faculty member on an extremely important

problem. As a faculty member, I meet with the students one to two days a week to work with them, get updates on their

progress as well as give guidance on the problem. The team that is assembled is often consists of Textile Engineers as well

as Textile Management students

Sara Lee Intimate Apparel (Statesville, NC), Summer 2002 Laura Hill (TE), Andrew Sutton (TE), and Lalia Gioconomi

(TE)

Goal of the project was to develop a scheduling methodology for their two-plant cutting operations that would allow

them to reduce their lead times of two to three weeks to one or one-half weeks. We were able to deliver a very good

analysis as well as a simplified prototype. An implementation later that year based on our work lead to the realization of

the one week lead timer.

Sara Lee Intimate Apparel (SLIA) (Winston-Salem, NC), May 2002 - October 2003 Michael Jarrett (TE), Erin Powell

(TATM) and James Francis (TE)

At the time, SLIA was carrying large inventories while still not able to meet their service level requirements to their

customers. This project analyzed the current way their setting their target inventories and over the course of two

summers and the support of several graduate students during the semester, a new SKU level inventory model was

developed and implemented to overcome the inefficiencies in their forecasting and planning systems. The SKU level

inventory model is still be used to plan over 30,000 SKUs. They estimate the model has saved them over 13 million

dollars over the past four years. As a result of the first year, they hired one of the undergraduate students (James Francis)

and my Ph.D. student (Ben Martin).

Park Dale Mills (Charlotte, NC), Summer 2003 Andrew Sutton (TE) and Kevin Ross (TE)

The group worked on a six sigma process improvement project to improve the overall quality of their doubled winding

operation.

Duke Energy, ITG, Glen Raven, and Unifi (Burlington, Reidsville, Greensboro, Yadkinville), Summer 2005 Alex

Yockey (TE), Ian Raulstan (TATM), and Reece Allen (TATM)

This was a very unique project since these three textile companies along with Duke Energy pooled their money together

to address three distinct supply chain problems. Unifi supplies yarns to both Glen Raven and ITG. The summer was very

successful in that these three companies shared information among themselves to improve the efficiency of the entire

supply chain from the fiber producers to the customers of ITG and Glen Raven.

An enjoyable part of my service is spent advising and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. Many of these

undergraduate students are not my official advisees. Owing to my relationship with Industrial and Systems Engineering

(ISE), I help many of the TE Information Systems concentration students get into certain ISE courses. Over the past

eight years, I have acted as the faculty advisor for six different senior design projects in TE 402, assisted with several TE

401 senior design projects and more than 25 TE 440 IS projects. Besides serving on graduate committees, I have

provided opportunities for my students to go and give talks at international conferences to gain experience.

Recent TE 402 Senior Design II Project

(Spring 2007) Chris Keenan and Tae Hwang, “Developing a Web-Based Laboratory Management System (LIMs)

(ITT Sponsor)

TE 401 Senior Design I Projects

(Fall 2007) Developing an Electric Blanket that utilizes conductive polymers rather than wires. I have been assisting

them in determination of the properties of the conductive polymers (resistance, voltage and current produced by a

normal blanket as well as how much current/voltage do you need to produce heat with these fibers).

(Fall 2007) Another group is looking at developing a sensor that will let plant owners know (series of lights) when

they need to water their plants. I am helping them develop the capacitance circuit necessary to perform this task.

TE 440 Projects

The undergraduate projects I have to find and solicit various groups while the Graduate Students were given the

opportunity to find their own project. I meet with most of the teams many times outside of class time to work and discuss

their projects. Several of the projects lead to further work in terms of Senior Design projects, students are hired, and/or

additional paid work from the sponsor.

Development of a Course Scheduling for the College of Textiles to schedule their courses each semester taking into

account time constraints, past semesters, class and lab requirements. Sponsor: College of Textiles (Jon Rust and

Kristin Thoney)

Development of an ITT Information system that will track all journal articles, presentations, proceedings, thesis etc.

created by the ITT fellows or staff as well as ability to search for these items in terms of topics. Sponser: Institute of

Textile Technology (ITT)

Development of an ITT Information system that will track chemical use by their ITT labs. Sponsor: Institute of

Textile Technology (ITT)

Development of Information system that will have the ability to keep track of Instructors and their courses taught or

certified for as well as the schedule of all courses given by Textile Extension. Sponsor: College of Textiles- TexEd

Extension courses often use kits of different learning materials. This information system will keep track of kits, the

instructors who have checked them out as well as which kits need replenishments. Sponsor: College of Textiles-

TexEd

In order to assist the Sri Lanka Textile institution, a student information system is being created to assist in tracking

students, courses taken, etc. Sponsor: Sri Lanka Project

In the Nonwovens Institute, fabric experiments are performed and the left over samples are inventoried at each stage

of the process. There is currently no system in place to track these materials to see if they can be reused for other

projects and therefore, many times the same experiment is performed producing more fabric. The system will keep

track of the material flow process (i.e., different samples have had different process applied to it) and be able to

determine if a fabric exists that has gone through a certain series of processes. Sponsor: Institute

Recognized Creative and Professional Achievements

• 2014 – Awarded the INFORMS Distinguished Service Award (International Award) for my dedication and service to the

International Simulation Community over a sustained period. https://www.informs.org/Recognize-

Excellence/Community-Prizes-and-Awards/Simulation-Society/Distinguished-Service-Award

• 2002 Ben Martin and I were selected as one of the professor-student mentor teams to participate in the university-wide

program titled "Preparing the Professoriate" that was sponsored by the Graduate School of North Carolina State

University. Ben sat in on my TE440 class during the Fall 2002 semester as well as taught a few lectures. Afterwards, we

discuss his effectiveness as an instructor and the things I do that may be appropriate for Ben. In the spring 2003 semester,

Ben and I team taught the lecture portion of TE205 by dividing up half of the lectures in order for Ben to learn to be an

effective teacher. Also, I taught the first lab section with Ben assisting and then the roles were reversed during the second

lab. Ben was mentored about the things that I had learned about teaching. We discussed things that worked well for Ben

and things that need improvement. As are result of the year, Ben produced a teaching portfolio that will be used when

applies for jobs.

• 1995 Selected as one of nine professor-student mentor teams to participate in the university-wide program titled

"Preparing the Professoriate" that was sponsored by the Graduate School of North Carolina State University with Rusty

King as my professor mentor. In Fall of 1995, I was assigned the task of teaching "Real-time Control of Manufacturing

Systems" where I redesigned the course to use C++ rather than C.

Total funding received to date is $2,223,430 plus an additional $2,006,000 in gifts from companies with $2,983,084 currently

pending from NSF.

Research Gifts

• NC State University/Hanesbrand, Inc. Strategic Partnership, $1,000,0000, 8/1/2012 – 5/1/2016

- After several years of working with Hanes, I cultivated and Hanes gave the gift to provide student experiences,

research projects, senior projects, etc. They have supported one of my PhD graduates (Iuri Sas) for a project after he

completed his degree before he left take his permanent job as well as another IMSE student. See Section IV for more

information on the partnership and what the impact has been. I also assist researchers.

- 71/2016-6/30/2021 $1,000,000 renewal gift to continue the partnership for the next five years.

• (Fall 2006) LENOVA awarded me a $2800 gift in the form a tablet PC (Thinkpad X60) to continue my work with Tablet

PCs within an engineering curriculum.

• (Fall 2003) HP awarded me a $3200 gift in the form of a Tablet PC to use in teaching courses that are not suited for

laptops (i.e., classes that need to draw and manipulate engineering designs to solve problems like free body diagrams,

graphing and flow charting in programming, labeling and diagramming electrical circuit problems, drawing chemical

compounds and polymers, etc.).

Official Radar Report

Note I took two that were in pending section out and put them in the non-funded category and my new NSF grant that was

submitted January 6th was not currently showing in the pending so I added it manually until it shows up. Also, my five year

NIH grant with Duke University as a lead is $1,249,467 with NC State’s portion $122,489 but only the first and second year

is showing up. Things not included in Radar is my $16,000 NSF REU that was awarded as part of my NSF grant.

Through a NSF REU grant, two undergraduate students and I developed a series of small videos on

problem solving techniques coupled with tutorials on Excel and VBA to enhance the in-class labs in

TE110. Some students were having difficulties outside of class applying things learned or in subsequent

courses forgetting the material. Initially it seemed they were helping. However, after doing formal

assessment the results were mixed on impact. How we do expect our novice students to reach the same

level of expertise which was gained from years of experience in solving problems? As a result, last

summer, the videos were re-scripted utilizing a student who had just completed the class and my model

based reasoning approach. I constructed a new survey to help really understand the access the impact of the

videos (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/excelVideos) this fall. Based on the results, the new videos seem

to have had an impact on student learning at least from the student’s perception. The next step will be look

at grade performance, motivation, learning style in conjunction with these results to see what factors are

leading to better understanding and comparing performance to previous semesters. The videos are also

being used by the Industrial and Chemical Engineering programs. Based on the methodology used we have

created specific videos for CHE. http://moodle.wolfware.ncsu.edu/course/view.php?id=4481

Today's somewhat disjointed approach to discipline-specific computing and generic computer literacy does not

accurately mirror the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by the engineer in the workplace. Computing in the

workplace is pervasive and involves many complex tools, many approaches to problem solving, strategic decision

making, and synthesis. Knowledge, comprehension and application are no longer enough for one to be labeled highly

competent in computing. Rather, a successful engineer will need a mastery of computing applicable to the higher

level cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation, as well. To prepare students for pervasive computing in

the workplace, we must begin to think in terms of pervasive computing in their education. The overarching goals of

this project are to: (1) create a computational thinking thread" in the engineering curriculum that spans from the

freshman to senior years and bridges the divide between freshman year computing and computing in upper-level

classes, and (2) enable students to take computing competency to the next level, where they are able to perform high-

level computing tasks within the context of a discipline. The “Computing Across Curricula” (CAC) community was

modeled in structure after the nationally renowned NC State Campus Writing and Speaking Program (CWSP). We

invited a set of fellows over six different semesters to participate in brown bag lunches and perform an action

research involving computing in their courses or curricula. This was the best part of the grant where we helped

faculty enter the arena of educational research through discussions and presentations. For me, I strategically invited

faculty from the TE program that would allow us to have courses throughout the entire curriculum that would

reinforce the computing skills learned during the freshman and sophomore years.

When we developed the new Computer Based Modeling for Engineers course (TE/ISE110), my first goal was to

assess the course and how to make improvements to it. We have been assessing the course for the past five years

with qualitative surveys with the help of the Director of Assessment from Engineering (Dianne Raubenheimer) linked

with student success. See the several papers linked above to see the survey and results. As a result of the project, my

horizons expanded beyond just this class because students seemed to be better at problem solving and whether or not

the skills learned were retained. We are utilizing a model by Wolcott Lynch (http://www.wolcottlynch.com) to assess

a student’s problem solving ability which classifies the student at different levels of the “Development Problem

Solving Process.” I have developed several generic problems that we are asking students in all class standings to

solve to determine a base line and then we will track these students through the curricula who have had TE/ISE 110

and see if students’ abilities change over time based on the class. The problem is an open ended problem. This is

quite exciting as we move through the process.

The LITRE project was ‘scale-out’ and ‘scale-up’ approach. Other departments have expressed interest in

reviewing their introductory computer programming course requirement and implementing a course similar to

ISE/TE 110. We reached out to Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) and Biological and

Agricultural Engineering (BAE) as the project progresses to solicit their participation. This is the ‘scale-out’ portion

of the proposal. The ‘scale-up’ portion entails linking computational processes and skills across courses in the

curricula. The project has several overarching objectives:

1. Increase the computational and analytical capabilities of students by building upon critical computing concepts

semester after semester in a series of courses in the curriculum (“computational thread”).

2. Develop a repeatable, scalable framework that can be implemented in other departments.

The following table shows (italicized courses) where computational thinking has been embedded into the TE

curriculum for this grant. Using the NSF grant fellows program in the next section, I strategically selected four

faculty to introduce computational thinking into their courses so I could create our thread.

Improvement

The following figures show the impact TE/ISE 110 has on a student’s problem solving ability. The farther right

towards “Strategic Revisioner” indicates that the students are better at problem solving. The figures from the earlier

work show that students who utilized technology seem to better at problem solving because the technology acts as an

enabler to understand the problem more at freshman level.

The same problem given to students in their senior year which is 2-3 years removed from 110 indicates that students

who took the 110 class were better at problem solving whether they used technology or not and those that used

technology were better than those that were not. This is showing that the students are maintaining their knowledge

because it is being reinforced. All TE students at this point I had 110 already so no comparison could be made.

Technology at this level acts as enhancer giving them the ability to explore what if analysis. We are now looking into

other factors that might impact as well as sampling a larger population in and out of NCSU.

IV.A. Accomplishments

IV.A.1. Director of the Hanesbrands/ NC State University Partnership ($2,000,000 Gift)

Owing to my successful work with Hanes for several years and my work in Supply Chain across the university, I started to

discussing/cultivating in 2010 about establishing a more formal presence rather than just one off types of projects. As part of

showing what NC State could do in terms of product development and supply chain. I organized a one day Supply Chain

Workshop (3/2011) where Hanes sent a group of influential personnel (e.g., three Senior Vice Presidents, HR Director, and

Director of Business Analytics). Listening to their needs, I reached out to everyone I thought that could help Hanes. The

My Role

1. After the workshop, I spent the next eight months working with the university, the Textile Foundation, and Hanesbrands,

Inc. to work out details of the MOU, Gift Agreement, and Master Research Agreement for the $1,000,000 gift. The goal

of the partnership was four fold: Establish a presences of Hanes and Champion brand presence on campus; Develop a

talent acquisition pipeline; Utilize faculty and facilities to assist Hanes in innovating; and Access to consortiums (e.g.,

Supply Chain Resource Cooperative, Advanced Analytics, etc.). In many cases, this partnership was unique and required

a lot of work to work out the deals.

2. Once the agreements were signed in the fall of 2011, I then spent five months working with Centennial Authority, Hanes,

College of Textiles to acquire office space for the Partnership could rent and be able to work with NC State. As the

liaison for the partnership space, I manage the access and affiliate IDs to NC State.

3. Spend 5-10% of my time managing and directing the partnership in the following manners. It is my role to find partners

within the university to help Hanes innovate as well as promote Hanes. From the steering committee that I help organize

and run, Hanes develops project areas they are interested in working on. I help manage the money as well as work on my

own research projects with Hanes.

Impact of Student Class Projects

As part of the talent acquisition, promoting Hanes as well as working on key projects/problems, I have helped promote and

find the following different funded and non-funded class projects, senior design projects, studios, etc. over the first four

years. As seen in the below figure, we have been able to reach across the entire campus. When projects have been successful,

a continued relationship with those organizations and faculty continue. These project have had a huge impact on directing

where Hanes should be working as well as fixing problems. In some cases, HBI has hired the students as full time employees.

Sponsoring Student Events to Promote Hanes Brand

Before the partnership, Hanes was having a hard time to attract top talent. As part of my suggestion, they sponsor many

student events around the university as seen in the figure below. For example, the 2014 and 2014 Polymer camp sponsorship

has allowed us to have an amazing program but keeping the registration fee low (i.e., $45) which gives students of social

economic background the opportunity. Keith Zimmerman and I organize the end of the semester pizza parties as a way to

say thank you to all the students and faculty working on Hanes research and class projects.

Managing the Internship Program

An internship program is the easiest way for employers and students to determine if the company will be a fit for the student

in the long run. Before the partnership, Hanes was never sure if they were going to have budget for interns and then when

they decided it was late in March meaning the best students were already committed. Therefore, I convinced them with the

partnership we should guarantee at least six interns every year. With the student event sponsorship and class projects, the

Hanes interview schedule is completely full with our best students. I work with the Hanes HR Director to hire these students

through the partnership funds and approve their biweekly pay throughout the summer. I also visit Hanes during the summer

and then for the final presentations. Many of these students have been given permanent job offers by Hanes. Some have been

offered to fund their graduate work as well.

2016 7 3 TE, 2 FTM, 1 Bus, CHE

Sponsoring Research Projects

Another phase of the partnership is to move beyond the class project to more innovative research which sometimes starts

with the class projects. My role is to make Hanes aware of projects and the based on their needs find partners within the

university that can help. In Fall 2014, I built an RFP site which allowed multiple researchers across the university to see the

project ideas and submit proposals. The following is the current and completed larger research projects with PIs.

IV.A.2. Short Course/Workshops for Industry

For the past few years, I have been teaching industrial workshops in our Textile Extension Six Sigma and Master Black

Belt Program. I have developed three week long workshops on Simulation and Six Sigma, Data Management with Excel,

JMP and Minitab, and Simulation with SIMIO. I also teach the Design for Six Sigma workshop as well. I have been

IV.A.3. Other Accomplishments

• I have had six Institute of Textile Technology projects funded which were directly selected by an industrial

advisory board and worked with companies from the board.

• For several summers including some semesters, I worked directly with companies on several extremely important

problems. The mechanism was facilitated through what we termed "directed internships" where an assembled

group of students is working in the various companies with a faculty member on an extremely important

problem. As a faculty member, I am meeting with the students’ one-two days a week to work as well as give

guidance on the problem. $314,772 of my $1,432,781 has come directly from companies showing my

commitment to making companies in North Carolina more competitive.

- Sara Lee Intimate Apparel (Statesville, NC), Summer 2002

Goal of the project was to develop a scheduling methodology for their two-plant cutting operations that

would allow them to reduce their lead times of two to three weeks to one or one-half weeks. We were able

to deliver a very good analysis as well as a simplified prototype. See item number viii in Section V for

more information on the commercial version they hired us to build and maintain.

- Sara Lee Intimate Apparel (SLIA) (Winston-Salem, NC), May 2002 - October 2003

At the time, SLIA was carrying large inventories while still not able to meet their service level requirements

to their customers. This project analyzed the current way their setting their target inventories and over the

course of two summers and the support of several graduate students during the semester, a new SKU level

inventory model was developed and implemented to overcome the inefficiencies in their forecasting and

planning systems. See item ix in Section V for more information on the project.

- Park Dale Mills (Charlotte, NC), Summer 2003

- Milliken, Summer 2004 (paid as a consultant)

- Duke Energy, ITG, Glen Raven, and Unifi (Burlington, Reidsville, Greensboro, Yadkinville), Summer

2005 This was a very unique project since these three textile companies along with Duke Energy pooled

their money together to address three distinct supply chain problems. Unifi supplies yarns to both Glen

Raven and ITG. The summer was very successful in that these three companies shared information among

themselves to improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain from the fiber producers to the customers of

ITG and Glen Raven

• As a consultant, I was part of a team who delivered a five-day workshop to over 500 Milliken employees on Lean

Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management during April 2003-November 2004. The goal was to get Milliken

to change the way they reward performance based on plant metrics and move to more customer and company

metrics.

IV.B. Program Impacts

With engagement to NC society as part of the mission of NC State University, a good portion of my research has been

devoted to applied research programs directly with companies in NC . The impact has been huge in some cases in making

them more competitive in the global marketplace by reducing lead times and costs. The biggest impact has come with Hanes

Brands formerly Sara Lee Intimate Apparel where the new inventory model has conservatively saved the company millions

of dollars over the years. Hopefully, all of these applied research programs will be able to sustain and grow NC companies.

The other impact these programs have had is in my teaching where I can bring these solutions, problems, and methods back

to the classroom to train the next generation of engineers. These real-world experiences only enhance my teaching by

providing examples of the things I am teaching. Owing to my classes and students, I have been doing training in various

companies.

Developed the “Genetic Algorithm Optimization Toolbox (GAOT™)” (http://www.ie.ncsu.edu/gaot) which

implements simulated evolution in the Matlab environment using binary, real, and ordered based representations.

The implementation has been used by classes at Auburn, NCS State and hundreds of master and Ph.D. thesis around

the world. Over 1374 articles have referenced the report outlining the toolbox according to Google Scholar.

Development of the Faculty Annual Reporting System for the TECS since 2008 and the entire college since 2015.

The system downloads all the available data on classes (i.e., number of students, sections, etc.), undergraduate

advisees, special topic classes, all information on proposals submitted, current research projects and current graduate

students. It then generates an individual spreadsheet for each faculty member to fill out all information on research

outcomes, etc. The system then will combine all information and generated the department’s annual report in word

format. The individual excel spreadsheet can also create a word document version for the individual faculty if they

want.

V.B. Program Impacts

Our book is the leading book on the Simulation language SIMIO. It has been used by many industrial companies and over 30

universities. The annual report system has made a huge difference in our department and now the college to collect

efficiently all the information necessary.

College of Textiles Service

Department Head for Textile Engineering, Chemistry, and Science (Jan 2017 – present)

Associated Department Head for Undergraduate Programs (2008-2017) -In this role, I am in charge of all student

recruitment and retention of students. I led the department in revising all three program curricula in the new GEP

implementation plus many other curricula changes over the years. I assist faculty with utilizing learning management

systems and teaching pedagogy in the classroom. I also advise undergraduate students in all three programs. I have

written an Advising FAQ to assist our faculty in advising and mentoring undergraduates. This has been shared with the

Chemical Engineering Department, Industrial Systems Engineering, and with Cindy Istook who is my counterpart in the

Textile Apparel Technology Management (TATM) Department. I am also in charge of scheduling classes each semester

for our department and working with the TATM scheduler as well. I work with our Director of admissions and advising,

to go through all TE applications to CODA into TE or TT. I work hand in hand with Director of Student Services on

recruitment of TECS students and finding jobs and internships for our students. To assist the department head in

collecting the annual reports and then generating our departmental report, I created and run our Faculty Annual Reporting

System. The system automatically downloads all the classes including the number of students, the number of advisees,

graduate students, active research grants and proposals and then creates an Excel spreadsheet for each faculty member to

fill out all the other information. The individual excel document will create a word document version for the faculty.

Once the faculty have filled out their individual spreadsheets, my system collects all the information into a master

database. It then generates word documents on all the activities of the department over the year. When our new Dean

started, the other department adopted my system which I help perform these duties for them aiding Kristin Thoney who

manages it for her department.

Chair of the College of Textiles Course and Curriculum Committee (July 2009-June 2010; July 2015-Dec 2016)

I am very proud that as chair (09-10), I shepherded a very contentious brand new undergraduate degree program (Fashion

and Textile Design) through the entire process in our college. The package was a very large document (>250 pages) that

included the development of 14 new undergraduate courses. As a chair of committee, I kept the process rolling, critical

reviewing the entire package and not allowing anything to be accepted that did not meet the right criteria. As a result, the

package went through UCCC on the first pass with only a few minor changes. As chair, I felt I handled the difficult issues

between the committee members by letting everyone’s voice be heard and then developing win-win solutions. It was

important that I communicated with all members outside to get sense of what they were thinking before going to the

meetings. In many instances, I pushed the package back to the department to be fixed and updated.

Textile Engineering Program Director (2006-2008) - As TE Program Director, I have led the curriculum through the

latest restructuring that included working with other faculty to develop new or update current courses (TE 200) Based on

my LITRE and NSF educational grants, I am reshaped the curriculum to utilize computing throughout the program by

helping to make changes to existing courses by introducing assignments, lectures, and projects. I feel the introductory

modeling course is providing the students with a skill set that can be used well beyond NC State. Most of my leadership

has been directed towards teaching and learning within the program which includes a large recruitment effort which is

paying off with an increase in undergraduate students.

Polymer Engineering and Chemistry Camp Co-Director with Russell Gorga (2006-present)- This is a two day high school

summer camp that we utilize for recruitment. Russell and I developed and have run the camp for the past seven years. The

last few summers we have had over 40 rising junior and senior high school students. Requires reading and accepting

applicants, organizing the faculty and staff to put on the camp, ordering and buying all the food and snacks for the camp.

The college went through a restructuring of space in 2013, I had a vision of an inquiry guided class room (SCALE-up) that

had round tables and screens on all four sides to make it easy to lead discussion and active learning. Even though, the

concept was foreign and people said only I want to teach this way, I designed the room and convinced leadership to build

this world class teaching environment. The classroom is completely full the last two semesters with people saying it forced

me to change the way I teach and even graduate students are talking in my classroom now.

College of Textile Recruitment

- Created and maintain the three undergraduate fact sheets for PCC, TE, TT.

- Participated in the College of Textile Open House, 2001-2015. In 2004 - 2010, I organized all of the TE information

of the new brochure that could be copied for handout. .

- Created the Textile Engineering Recruitment brochure with the help of Dr. Krause Fall 2003, Spring 2004. Please

see http://www.te.ncsu.edu/brochure/te.pdf for an online version. In 2012, I helped to create the new version in

spring of 2012.

- To better sale the Textile Engineering program at events, I designed and developed a series of three Jiffy Screen

Banners (32" by 96") to be used during the three Open Houses, visitations, etc. based on our Textile Engineering

Brochure. In 2013, Dr. Zhang and I led the redesign of the current the banners.

Student Owned Computing (SOC) Chair (2002-2008) - For six years, the College of Engineering (COE) ran a student

owned computing pilot. I have been involved with the SOC initiative from its beginning: as a teacher of TE 440, on the

SOC committee for helping to make decisions as well as the chair of the SOC committee since 2002. As Chair, I have

organized and participated in a series of 14 forums (see Section B-13 for the sample list) over several years to

disseminate the use of computer technology to enhance the undergraduate education. These forums were intended to give

examples of good practices as well as tools that can be used to enhance student learning to encourage more faculty to

start to integrate technology/computing into the classroom.

University-Wide Service

Member of Council on Undergraduate Education (CUE) (August 2015 – present)

Chair of the University Evaluation on Teaching (August 2012-May 2015) –I was asked to chair the committee for

three years to continue the momentum we created during my first two years. Under my leadership, the committee

addressed some very touchy issues of improving response rates of student evaluations as well as addressing peer

review of teaching. Owing to the great work from the committee (see final report

https://committees.provost.ncsu.edu/evaluation-teaching/wp-

content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/EOTAnnualReport2014-15.pdf and https://committees.provost.ncsu.edu/evaluation-teaching/wp-

content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/EvaluationofTeachingCommitteeReport2013-14.pdf), I have given presentations on

our recommendations to the University’s Dean’s Council in July 2013, update in September 2014, and to several

Associated Deans Meetings and Faculty Senate subcommittees.

i. In an effort to help faculty increase response rates legally, I created with the help of the OFD a Common Myths,

Concerns and Improvement FAQ which is attached on the last page of this section

(https://ofd.ncsu.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ClassEvalFAQ.pdf As a result, we have been

sending this out to the all those teaching at NC State. Most of the recommendations demonstrate caring of the

faculty member.

ii. As part of improving student learning, I am proponent of mid-semester evaluations which I having the committee

as their faculty to do. After sending out my evaluation to the College of Textiles, several faculty thanked me for

the idea as they had either not done one before or it had been a while. They commented on the great results and

feedback from the students.

iii. Under my leadership, I led the recommendation to improve the current ClassEval tool by allowing students to

update and edit their evaluations, make the tool mobile friendly, and allow the photo of the instructor to be

displayed. The first two have been were implemented in the Fall 2013. We are hoping that over time this will

allow responses rates to increase which will lead to better teaching and student learning.

iv. I revamped the policy on Peer Review for the entire university.

v. In my third year as chair, I led the development of a new peer review summary template which allows

departments to use what every protocol they would like to use but will summarize the results using the template.

This will standardize the reporting across the university the summary of peer review as well as help those

departments who do not have peer review process. See the report above to see the template and explanation.

Winter Simulation Conference Online Submission and Database Technical Coordinator. I developed as well as

maintained the online management system the conference used from 2000 to 2010. The management allowed

papers to be submitted electronically as well as automatically converted to pdf if necessary to make it easier to

review. The system allowed many people to manage the conference by assigning papers to tracks, allowing papers to

be reviewed and then accepting or rejecting the paper. Then the tool was used to create the program by assigning

papers to sessions and sessions to certain rooms. Our printer downloaded complete versions of the author index,

table of contents, program, etc. which cut our costs dramatically. The preliminary and final program are dynamically

created from the database and allowed participants access to the information.

Track Chair Coordinator Winter Simulation Conference 2008, 11, 12, 16, and 18.

Program Chair, 2005 Winter Simulation Conference. It was an honor being selected to hold this position in a very

large conference as young assistant professor. The 2005 conference was the largest conference in history by 20
